Silver Medieval 'fede' finger-ring.
The bezel consists of two clasped hands with a crown above. The crown has two circular hollows in, perhaps for a stone/enamel but nothing now remains. The hoop is decorated with an inscribed pattern which consists of; three squares, at equal interval which have an X filling them and three short lines on the inside of each side. In between the squares are two possible leaf-type motifs.
